About
Bio
You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.
I am passionate about Human Rights Law and Gender Equality. I was raised by a single mother in a in Zambian society that did not believe that women are not supposed to be in positions of influence. I believe that the world one day can become a fair place for little girls to achieve whatever they set their minds to. As a girl growing up my sex was always something to push through and that made me realize that there are so many women out there like myself that can do great things but lack the opportunity and the empowerment socially and economically to do so. This is why the empowerment of women with the help of men, is a cause that I am very passionate about.
